We want Miami Local to work for everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, voice control or other assistive technology.
Our standard
We build the site to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA. We do this in the site's own code. We don't use an add-on "accessibility overlay" from another company.
Display settings
The Display settings button at the bottom of every page lets you change how the site looks: text size, font (including Lexend, a font made for easier reading), line spacing, contrast, underlined links and movement. Turning movement off stops the animations and line drawings; the site also follows your device's "reduce motion" setting on its own. Your choices are saved only in your own browser, on this device, and are never sent to us. The panel is part of the site's own code. You don't need it to use the site: everything also works with your browser's and device's own settings.
How we check
- An automated accessibility check runs on every page type every time the site is updated, at phone and desktop sizes. Updates with serious issues aren't published.
- Every update also runs automated checks of keyboard-only use, 200% zoom, a phone held sideways and reduced-motion settings.
- We're adding regular screen reader testing (VoiceOver) and will list it here once it's part of every review.
- Every map has a text list beside it with the same places.
Known limitations
- Some listings link to other websites that we don't control and that may not be accessible.
- Older photo credits and some source documents we link to (such as PDFs from other organizations) may not meet the standard.
